Lindy McCoo, a freelance livestock insurance investigator, loves three things in life: horseback riding, fishing, and chasing women. But, his carefree life is turned upside-down when his former partner, Fred Nightwalker, is murdered during a routine trailer rollover investigation 2000 miles away. Fred's will gives Lindy $ 825,000 and responsibility for a near-delinquent teen, American Indian orphan -- Blazing Star Nightwalker.Lindy's only experience with fatherhood ended when his ex-wife left him taking a three-month-old daughter with her seventeen years ago, and leaving Lindy with four-hundred-fifty dollars and a lifetime of the guilt of an absent father. The only advice Fred offers in his will is: Teach her to ride, it's the only shot she has got.Lindy would be happy to teach Star horsemanship and wait-out the two years to Star's emancipation, but plucky Star will not leave Fred's murder investigation to the authorities.Come along with Lindy and Star as they follow the path of Fred's murderer, a trail that leads through some of the most beautiful riding country in the United States. There will be brushes with the mob in the horse racing industry, with stops along the way to pursue some great fishing and dalliance with some men and women you won't soon forget.
